About
Capanna Guglieri Lorenza sits at 1,316m in the Ligurian Alps, on the ridge between the Aveto and Sturla valleys. Reach it from Rezzoaglio in about 3 hours on a well-marked trail. The hut works as a base for ridge walks along the Appennine crest and approaches to peaks above 2,000m in this less-crowded corner of the range.
The cabin is a simple, staffed refuge with sleeping capacity for around 25 people. It serves meals and hot drinks to hikers. Water comes from a spring nearby. The hut opens year-round but receives far more visitors in summer and autumn. Winter access depends on snow conditions; contact ahead before planning a cold-season visit.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email. July and August attract the most traffic, but this refuge rarely reaches capacity even in peak season—a marked advantage over busier Ligurian rifugios. Ring a few days ahead in summer; off-season visits need only a day's notice.
